User Guide
This is a step-by-step user guide on the ARIS app. It contains information on what each feature does and instructions on how to use them.
Log in page[edit]
The first step to work with ARIS, once the software is properly downloaded, installed and executed (see Installation and Upgrades), is for the user to identify themselves. This is done through the use of a username and password, personal for each individual.
To gain access to the application, the individual's username, unique for every user, must be typed out on the top box, where it is indicated. Then, the password corresponding to the username used must be typed out in the box below. Once all the information is filled in, the log in now orange button must be pressed, and if the information provided is correct, the screen will show the main page of the app.
If the username or password is incorrect, a red information box will pop up above the log in now button.

General features[edit]
Arrow[edit]
This downward arrow is present when there is a choice between options, instead of needing a written down response. It is also present in the sidebar, where there is more than one action offered.
Asterisk[edit]
The red asterisk represents a mandatory field. In other words, if a box contains an asterisk, it must be filled in order to keep doing the desired task. The current action in progress will not conclude until all of the corresponding fields are filled.
Language[edit]
With this icon, found in the top right corner of the page, the user is able to change the language of the application depending on their preference. There are currently two options of language for this app; English and Spanish.
Profile[edit]
When clicking on this icon, found in the top right corner of the page, two options will show up. The first, is the log-out option, when pressing on this option, the page will change to the #Log in page, through which the user will be able to change the account they are using.
Sidebar[edit]

The sidebar contains information about the user's account and is a tool for navigation between the different functions of the app.
At the very top of the orange sidebar, the software's name is displayed in a bold white font. When these letters are clicked, the screen changes to the home page display.
Just below the title, there is a small box that informs the user of the account currently in use, by means of the user's name and role corresponding to this username.
Separated by a line, there is a list of the different functions listed below.
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| Patients | Create and edit patients, as well as navigate through the patients list. |
| Requests | Create and edit requests, as well as different types of search. |
| Data analysis | Basic statistics on the performance of the laboratory. |
| Configuration | Options offered by the system in the different dropboxes of the forms. |
| System administration | User administration and edition of software parameters. |
| System information | Software version and credits. |
Most of these functions have sub actions, accessed through the small downward arrow to the right of the name. To change between actions, simply click on the desired function and the display will change.
